Terrible frame pacing on 960m

[evilmeister13]

I recently picked up an msi ge62 apache pro from a local pawn shop for $500, configured with a core i7 5700HQ 2.7Ghz and a GTX 960m 2GB with 12GB of ram. I fired up Rainbow six siege, my main game, and it has just awful frame pacing, the game feels lurchy and gross to play. I'm getting around 45fps, which is what i expected at low settings, but it doesnt feel that smooth at all. I tried lowering my resolution to 720p and setting render scaling to 50% of that, all to avail, no boost in framerate or smoothness. I then fired up fortnite and had the exact same experience. Any clue as to how i could potentially solve this?

When was it working good or its always been like this.

You can try booting into safe mode and run DDU "Display Driver Uninstaller" and do a clean and restart and come back in normal mode and install latest WHQL drivers then let us know.

I just picked up this laptop, as stated above. It seems to work fine except for the awful frame pacing I'm experiencing. I also already tried the usual DDU stuff as well, just updated to the latest drivers that were released today. Still no dice.

Yes of course, I've narrowed it down to the CPU overheating, it hits 90 degrees the moment I fire up anything intensive. Thinking of putting liquid metal on it but I'm not sure if my cooler is nickel plated or not

It is copper and aluminum.

 

There is a bios and ec update that increases the fan curve.

Ah, thanks for the info, I'll update it when I get home. I'm still gonna throw some thermal grizzly on there just because, since as you say it's aluminum. Wouldn't want to kill a laptop I just bought lol

A good non-conductive paste is good enough
